Broken Bow Council Denies Mobile Food Vendor Ordinance, Directs Review Committee
Summary
Broken Bow City Council unanimously denied Ordinance 1243 regulating mobile food vendors after City Administrator Dan Knoell asked the council to waive remaining readings and deny the measure so a review committee could be formed to draft alternatives.
Broken Bow — The Broken Bow City Council voted unanimously July 13 to deny Ordinance 1243, a proposed regulation for mobile food vendors, and directed that a committee be formed to review the issue.
City Administrator Dan Knoell told the council he recommended waiving the final two readings of the ordinance and denying it so that a committee could be formed to evaluate options and draft a recommended approach. The council opened a public hearing on the ordinance at 6:13 p.m., then closed the hearing two minutes later before taking the procedural votes.
Councilmember Chris Myers moved to open the public hearing; Councilmember Dave Schmidt seconded. The council subsequently voted to close the hearing, waive the final two readings and deny Ordinance 1243 on motions moved and seconded by councilmembers as recorded; each roll-call vote was unanimous. Mayor Rod Sonnichsen then dismissed the ordinance.
The record does not list committee members, a committee timeline or specifics about the issues staff wants the committee to address; those details were not provided during the meeting. The council did not adopt any regulation for mobile food vendors at this session.
The denial means the proposed ordinance will not become city law unless reintroduced after the committee’s work or a future council action. The council adjourned the meeting at 6:17 p.m.
